If the words, "overwhelmingly" and "white" did not already exist, the lamestream media would have to invent them to write about the Glenn Beck rally held in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 28. The Daily Caller's Jim Treacher presents, "What they’re saying about the 8/28 rally," and "overwhelmingly white" rolls unimpeded off the keyboards of desperately-looking-for-racists reporters. Three examples:

“Beck says he and his overwhelmingly white followers ‘are the inheritors and protectors of the civil- rights movement.’” — Ben Adler, Newsweek

Jim ends with one of the most famous quotes from Martin Luther King: "“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

It is to observe that the media are guilty of racial profiling. As Donald Douglas puts it, "Leftists Search Desperately for 'Racists' at Restoring Honor Rally." They shouldn't have to look far - try a mirror. As Glenn Reynolds says: "... in my experience, the people who yammer about racism the most tend to be closet racists themselves." As for the participants of the Beck event, well, they are guilty of RWW - "Rallying While White."
